The operation of MEMS sensors is based on various principles, such as for example the piezoresistive effect, the capacitive effect, the temperature coefficient of resistance, the Seebeck effect and the electric field effect.
MEMS sensors find their application in many areas because they are small, can be produced in large volumes with very good reproducibility. The production of microsensor arrays opens new possibilities to map the field of physical parameters.
